Very similar to Loxia molucca, Linn. PL Enl. 139. Jig. 2, oi 

 which it seems to be merely a variety.

Spec. 6. Fringilla prasina. 



F. viridi-olivacea, fronte regione orbitali gulaque azureis, remi 

 gibus rectricibusque nigricantibus, uropygio abdomineque 

 coccineis, pectore ventre hypochondriisqar ferrugineis. 

 Binglis Javanis (regionibus orientalibus Insula 4 ). 



Longitudo 5\ poll. 

 The two middle tail-feathers extend about half an inch beyond 

 the others ; the bill is intensely black and shining ; the feet are 

 reddish. In several of my specimens the bird appears in a dif- 

 ferent state of plumage ; the upper parts of a greenish-olive, the 

 lower of an uniform dusky-grey colour inclining to ferrugineous ; 

 the coverts of the tail are scarlet. From birds in this state the 

 description oi Loxia prasina, Mus. Carls, fasc. iii. 172. appears 

 to have been made : " viridi-olivacea, subtus cano-rlavic;ms, 

 uropygio rubro/' The bird above described, in a perfect state 

 of plumage, greatly exceeds this in beauty.

 Loxia oryzivora, Linn. Syst. i.p. 302. 

 Gros-bec de la Chine, PL Enl. 152. Jig. 1.
